memories are the things that kill me. and the
pictures poke out of their cardboard boxes, each
one of his smiles reminding me that i will never
be the same again.

maybe it’s the way he watches me because we
all know i’m fraying at the edges. (prevent me
from breaking, love). and it runs over my hands,
and i know he deserves a whole heart.

i wish i could be all you imagined.

he sings me to sleep some nights, his pretty guitar
chords and my head continues to spin and somehow
in these arms of his brown eyes, it’s just okay.

we could create our own world and run away from
the rolling eyes and misconceptions of people who
don’t clearly see through these flaws in between us.

i don’t mind the loneliness, i just want to be in reach
again of something stable and you’re the closet i’ve
ever been to believing in the four letter word on
everyone’s rushed tongues.

and i can’t understand but i can still feel your hands
wrapped tightly around my waist, leaving their
burning impression of what we could be.

i could be an accident, but i'm still trying.

I like this.
though there are some cliche parts.
the lines that ring with originality make up for it.

This is my favorite that I have read from you so far. I just love it, it has a powerful affect on me.
I tried to pick a favorite verse but I love them all.
This one especially, "we could create our own world and run away from the rolling eyes and misconceptions of people who don’t clearly see through these flaws in between us."
Excellent work!
This is going in my library.

it struck me, especially these lines:

i don’t mind the loneliness, i just want to be in reach
again of something stable and you’re the closet i’ve
ever been to believing in the four letter word on
everyone’s rushed tongues.

your msg is 'say it like you mean it' so indeed, i will. you have a way of summing things up so creatively, it's insane.

VERY good work! I should be working on a project in school right now but I was side tracked and this is the first poem I clicked on. I'm glad I did! I even printed this! Thank you for the read! ~Jess
